Once setup, this plugin transparently integrates with your WordPress blog. File uploads are automatically saved into your Amazon S3 bucket without any extra steps. Once saved, these files will be delivered by Amazon S3, instead of your web host. Any image thumbnails that get created are saved to Amazon S3 too. You’ll also find an “Amazon S3″ tab next to your regular “Upload” tab, which allows you to easily browse and manage files that were not upload via WordPress.

Over the past couple of days, my blog got:

- Boing Boinged,
(http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/23/simpsons-film-refere.html)

- Instalanched
(http://instapundit.com/archives2/009756.php)

- Metafiltered,
(http://www.metafilter.com/64936/D’oh)

- and Defamed
(http://defamer.com/hollywood/short-ends/no-tv-and-no-beer-make-homer-something-something-303231.php)

and still I see no slowdowns and have had no tech support people emailing me to tell me that they had to take my site down. My heartiest compliments to you and the rest of the PressHarbor crew!

How’s that for a testimonial?

Thanks, Joey!

Lots of great info for anyone considering moving from BlogHarbor or any other Blogware-based service to WordPress in general or PressHarbor in particular. An excerpt:

Now, since I’ve talked so much about why I left [for] WordPress, I’m sure you expect a description of the actual migration process. I’m afraid I’ll disappoint: the migration was a non-event. I made the call, and two days later my blog was up an running on WordPress. Old posts, comments, trackbacks, pictures – Pressharbor took care of it. My main concern was not to lose links, trackbacks to old posts: while Blogware had their own cryptic permalink structure, on WordPress I am using the SEO-friendly title-based permalink formula. Pressharbor set up 301 redirects for every single of my old posts, and in a few days I saw Google reindex all and point to the new permalinks.

A great read for anyone considering a move to our new PressHarbor platform.

(Hat tip Matt.)

Matt wanted to move to WordPress to offer some additional functionality to his community that was not possible with a Blogware-based blog, so he chose to move his site to our new PressHarbor plaform. On Saturday night, we moved over 10,000 articles to his new WordPress site; Matt woke up this morning to find that all of his articles for the past 3 years were now in his new blog… He was pretty excited about the move, and his readers were very enthusiastic about the change, saying that the new site was “blazing fast”, “incredibly fast,” “superfast”…

Best of luck on MetsBlog 3.0, Matt!
